Our take on the MRE Ready To Drink Protein Shakes

MRE Ready To Drink Protein Shakes are shelf-stable shakes with 40g of protein and no sugar per bottle, built on a blend of egg, brown rice and pea protein rather than whey. The pitch is real-food protein in a thick, milkshake-like texture that is lactose free and easy on the stomach. Each bottle is 500 ml, so it is a full meal-sized shake rather than a small snack. It suits people who want a big protein hit after training or on the go and who bloat on whey. Against whey-based RTDs it wins on protein per bottle and texture, but it is heavier to drink and some flavors miss their names.

Questions and answers

How much protein is in one MRE shake?
Each 500 ml bottle has 40g of protein from egg, brown rice and pea protein, with no sugar and 3g net carbs.

Yes. It is formulated without whey and is lactose free, which is why buyers report less bloating than with whey shakes.
Does it contain allergens?
It contains milk and egg. Check the label if you have other allergies.
How long does it keep?
The shelf life is 15 months, so it stores well without refrigeration before opening.
